KS4CH HAM
✅ Available for a vanity request — KS4CH was last held in the 1990s (license expired May 10, 2004), before the FCC's online records begin, so the two-year wait is long over. Confirm in the FCC's vanity system before applying.
2x2 call: Advanced and Amateur Extra licensees can request it.
No pending applications list it.
Not in the FCC's online records (1999 → now), but held before then: see below.
Held Before 1999
KS4CH in the 1993–2003 Callbooks
From the FCC amateur database as published on the QRZ! callsign CD-ROMs, 1993–2003, before and alongside the FCC's online records (which start in 1999). "Seen" dates are the first and last disc showing that record; the issue date is the FCC's, so it can be a renewal of an even older license.
Seen Oct 31, 1994 → Oct 26, 1995 · 3 discs KS4CH
· Advanced · issued Sep 12, 1994, expires May 10, 2004
